Adding time of day is not very easy to do. We don't add the schedules to OSM.
I'm attempting it for school buses, where it's a time window in the morning and another around 4 (noon on Wednesdays), but I'm not adding many school bus routes. I have access to the timetables and what I do is create a separate route for each different sequence of stops served. Now say somebody else has the timetables and he/she wants to visualise the route the bus takes at that particular time of day. They simply need to find a route with that ref, which serves that same sequence of stops. No time-of-day needed in this case. Would it be useful to add all the starting times/ending times as well for a given route? This can be different depending on weekdays/Saturdays/Sundays/weekdays during short school holidays/weekdays during long school holidays. How would we indicate that difference? It's probably not wise to add it, it changes even more often than the routes themselves.
